I broke my blogroll. Or rather, I uninstalled the Sync OPML to Blogroll plugin, breaking my blogroll in the process.
Thing is, I’ve pretty much moved to Feed Reader for my … feed reading.
Should create a new shortcode or something, dump the output of https://github.com/janboddez/feed-reader/blob/main/includes/Models/class-feed.php#L12-L26 in there.

I should look into block theme style variations. A matter of dropping an extra JSON file in the

subfolder, it seems. -

This thing suddenly reminds me of Mastodon’s “missing replies” problem. One thing I’ve always liked about Webmention is that, on its own, it’s quite simple. There’s not a whole lot of rights and wrongs, you do as you see fit.
Thing is, I don’t think Mastodon’s approach (to distributed replies) is the ActivityPub approach, either. Everything’s a choice. (If I recall correctly, the spec isn’t all that detailed, and different implementations deal with things … differently.)

Bookmarked Ideas for improving metaformats parsing by Anthony …
Bookmarked Ideas for improving metaformats parsing by .
Most of IndieBlocks’ “h-cite” blocks use some kind of fallback (i.e., the
author
, if any, andtitle
tags) for remote pages that don’t support microformats. Some good ideas here on taking this just a bit further. -

Bookmarked Vibes vs. data by .
When the Financial Times surveyed the American public about real wages, inflation, wealth, and median income, they found that negative beliefs were far more common than correct answers. […] In other words, something is convincing a lot of Americans that the national economy is a lot worse than their own lived experience would suggest[.]
And since the weird break between economic fundamentals and consumer confidence appears to exist only in America […]
Wait, what, where? Our (European) media just won’t stop talking about the recent period of “hyperinflation” (!), the “energy crisis,” rising mortgage rates, and so on. The “negative narrative” is absolutely not “mostly an American thing.”

So, this may very well be the last time I reply to myself this way!
Ha!
(I wanted to say that I also fixed a smallish bug, where some instances of the
core/post-author
block would not get a proper authorp-name
.) -
In reply to IndieBlocks v0.10.0 by Jan. Wait, …
Wait, I forgot to mention that I do know that the Webmention plugin for WordPress has had this for ages.
Never really saw the need for it, as I could just create a “reply” (like this one) instead, and have it send a webmention, and ta-da, it’d show up as comment.
Except … it’s kinda nice having all your replies (and replies to replies, etc.) in one place?
So, this may very well be the last time I reply to myself this way!

I again messed up my listens’ album covers. I mean, I overhauled my theme(s), need to recreate the templates in question.
Base theme for all “*.indie.lol” sites can be found on GitHub, by the way. (This site’s theme is now a child theme of that theme.)

So, I think I just figured out why this site had gotten slower after the move to a VPS (and S3 for uploads).
Well, I did run
file_exists()
a couple times, in some blocks of mine. So I stopped doing that. That shaved a couple hundred milliseconds off some pages’DOMContentLoaded
time.I also installed Redis. Another 200 ms or so.
Yet I couldn’t get render times under 600-ish ms. While the other blog on the same server did not seem to exhibit this behavior.
Was it the theme? The various dynamic blocks? I started adding transients, but alas.
Moved to a more powerful server. Experimented with various settings. Nothing.
So I disabled Contact Form 7 (which I wasn’t even using). Saved another, at least 300 ms. Yay! I can now do without “cache warming”!
I’ll figure out how to load it for the contact page only, should I ever create one.

I’m gonna go ahead and declare my WordPress performance worries over.
(This is where I expect things to fail horribly, also because publishing this post will clear Surge’s page cache—but not NGINX’s, which I let expire after a couple minutes instead.)
